Whenever the opposition hammers away at the same issue a few days running, it gets boring quickly. Their questions are unchanging. Government responses are unchanging. No one listens to each other. Eventually, the exchanges devolve, naturally, into pot shots about who cares less about Canadians. It all becomes boring, rather quickly, since everyone watching stops learning anything new. There’s little headline news today to distract MPs from recent topics du jour, so MPs will either bore us to death or, with a little luck, at least find different ways to ask and answer the same questions. Place your bets in the comments.
